Defining a strategy for rolling out traditional mall retailer into non-mall stores in multiple markets

In 2010, Select Comfort, a designer and manufacturer of adjustable-firmness mattresses featuring air-chamber technology, made the strategic decision to begin operating in non-mall locations to help build store and brand awareness and to reduce overall occupancy costs. They were seeking a partner with significant non-mall expertise to develop a real estate strategy.

SRS provided strategic consulting and tenant representation services to an initial group of 40 trade areas across 10 states. After the initial success of the initiative, Select Comfort quickly added an additional 57 trade areas for evaluation to the assignment.
